It's a CS transmitter, but the idea would apply to any radio trigger...it's attached to the L bracket with velcro, and just plugged into the sync port which frees up the hot shoe. Also keeps the transmitter out of the way where it could get broken if it was in the shoe. It's a PITA to change channels, but that's never been a problem for me.

Why not just use the master/slave function on the 580s?

Because it often does not work, especially outdoors. That's why I went with radio triggers.

And for me I use a Quantum Qflash for my OCF for the extra power. This way I can control the output from where I am.
